Is this true? Just looked up the Hipgnosis, then the blackstone portion, then the appointment of the Ex-CEO of pfizer.
Regardless, not good seeing Blackstone tied to his name/music... ughScio me nihil scire

Just a little aside- here and on the other thread related to Spotify, I notice every now and then some comments labeling Neil Young a "hippie". That's amusing to me because it illustrates how little some here know about the man who has been variously, among other things, a folkie, a hippie, a punk rocker, a country bumpkin, a not very successful rockabilly revivalist, an activist but at times also flirted with being a conservative, a sometimes iconoclast, a syth-rock artist (briefly), a caretaker, and a writer.Brush up, kids, lol!"It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0

Most hippies I’ve know are proud of being called hippies. Is that somehow offensive now? I often refer to cannabis as hippie lettuce?Give Peas A Chance…0

I remember Neil on, I think it was Letterman, talking about his trains or his Lincvolt or something, and Dave called him a hippie, and Neil corrected him and said "rich hippie".By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0

thank you for the constructive feedback to my inquiry, Jan 2021 was the purchase date for hipgnosis upon further research. October 2021 Blackrock/Hipgnosis merger.static111 said:

yeah a stretch i guess. thanksDewieCox said:Odd coincidence but a pretty tenuous theory since NY still controls the recordings and they have several bigger catalogs they could’ve used and Blackstone invests in all kinds of seemingly random crap.

Neil Young Offensive Remark About AIDS Revealed
Let’s take a big step back to the year 1985 when Neil Young was still speaking his mind of the current conditions of the world. While Young was often looked up to as someone to spread a good message and a message of not selling out, he changed his tone pretty swiftly and became hated and problematic.
The AIDS pandemic was hitting an upswing and more and more cases came out. Neil Young didn’t read the science and took his own stance on the subject. Does this sound familiar? It should. Young blamed people who were homosexual for the pandemic to which, at this current time, Young has tried to sweep under the rug.

Meltdown99 said:Most hippies I’ve know are proud of being called hippies. Is that somehow offensive now? I often refer to cannabis as hippie lettuce?Well, but what is a hippie?
In 1969 I spent a summer working at United Airlines cleaning commercial jets at the service center. Early in in the job, this really cool mechanic I got to know took me around the big hanger to show me some of what was going on there. The only thing that was different looking about me was that I had hair 1/4 of the way down my back. All of the sudden one of the mechanics yelled out, "Hey, we got a hippie working here!" The good man who was showing me around hollered back, "He's got a job working here, he's no hippie!" I thought that was so cool! Yeah, I had the hair, the clothes and loves the music, but I never considered myself a hippie. Not ever. To me, hippies were these spaced out filthy bums who hung out in Golden Gate Park and the park "Panhandle" not far from where I live who were constantly trying to bum spare change from me like I had it spare. I had nothing in common with most of those folks and avoided them at every turn."It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 -

What is the context for that quote? I don't think that was explained or described in the latimes article. Just a short quote without any source or real context.
Curious on the context.Post edited by Spiritual_Chaos on"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -
alternative nation is garbage, whether the quote is real or not. best to read it with heavy bags of salt on hand. but even if he said it that long ago, who cares.By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0
